Kaiju2Table with kbase output

[Jediworm]

Hello.

I have been using Kaiju in KBase for my metagenomics data. I was hoping to stitch together all of my output files using Kaiju2table but I'm not sure Kbase outputs the files that I need to correctly use the command. From some of the output files, I have a "kaiju_classifications" folder which houses .kaiju files and I have a "kaiju_summaries" folder which has the different taxonomic levels for each file and is a .kaijureport. I'm not sure what the "nodes.dmp" files are for the -t and -n arguments. Is it possible to use Kaiju2table with just my current files or is this not possible with the KBase output?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I don't know what KBase is and how it runs kaiju, but it looks like you already have the reports that are generated by kaiju2table in the .kaijureport files. If you need the names.dmp and nodes.dmp files, you can just download one of the database files from here https://kaiju.binf.ku.dk/server (see blue box on the left side), which contain the dmp files.
